What does medical weight loss involve?

Medical weight loss is a scientifically backed method aimed at reducing body fat. It is typically recommended by physicians when other approaches have proven ineffective, or when individuals are overweight or obese. This approach is particularly beneficial for those with health conditions associated with excess body fat or those experiencing joint pain, especially in the knees or hips.

Even if you feel comfortable with your current weight, carrying excess body fat can lead to the following health issues:

• Arthritis
• Type 2 diabetes
• Certain types of cancer
• Acid reflux disease
• Sleep apnea
• Heart disease
• Stroke
• High cholesterol
• High blood pressure
• Back or joint pain

If you’re considering medical weight loss as a potential solution, the team at Spruce Health Group is here to discuss the program with you and assist you in deciding whether or not to participate. They understand that everyone has unique needs and goals, so they will customize the program to suit your specific requirements and support you in your journey toward achieving those goals.
